Manganese and iron reduction dominate organic carbon oxidation in surface sediments of the deep Ulleung Basin, East Sea
Rates and pathways of benthic organic carbon (C<sub>org</sub>) oxidation were investigated in surface sediments of the Ulleung Basin (UB) characterized by high C<sub>org</sub> contents ( > 2.5 %, dry wt.) and very high contents of Mn oxides ( > 200 µmol cm<...
